At the centre of surveillance
Change from lump to one. Wash and mix from body to body. Cook and feed someone. Lay or lift a person's body out of bed. Retention and cleaning during vomiting. All of them are conservation tasks. The list is much longer, although you can rarely do, listen or see the entire census of these works.
There is much talk about the need to centralize surveillance work, its importance in the social and economic agenda, the unbalanced and unjust situation generated by the fact that care work is a woman and the loss of value of these tasks and the authors (caregivers).
We talk a lot about care, but we don't talk very carefully, one at a time, from tilets to tilets. Not at least in the square, first and foremost, in the media or in the rallies.
However, it is appropriate to avoid abstractions used to move from scratch on the surface of the problem to deep roots. To reach the care center to address the difficulties involved in care. Not only oneself, but among all, as a community, when it comes to getting involved in care.
Care has painful edges and the need to address the weaknesses, pains and concerns of others becomes a mirror
And, in passing, to make known the nuances of surveillance. Because we never say it, but it is not supported to change the luggage to a child or an elderly or disabled, we do not feel the same when cleaning a new body that flourishes or when caring for a worn body that goes in decline, feeding or helping in vomit is the person served: a minor or a clothed friend who works at the end of life.
Also in the way of feeling and carrying this kind of work, because gender also commands: women carry these care sentences or not, older people prefer to be cared for by women and in parents it is difficult to see men to care for children. For reasons, women and men develop different ways of coping with attitudes, feelings and emotions: panic and disgust are different when it comes to observing and softening reses or body aches, as well as ways of defending themselves.
Care has painful edges and the need to deal with the weaknesses, pains and concerns of others becomes a mirror, a miracle of degeneration that we can also suffer. We would need common psycho-emotional tools available to everyone to address these difficult aspects of life. To calm the care tasks.

Through the Wallapop app, I sold some mediocre loudspeakers before the summer. Maybe the product description was a little swollen, it's true. The shopper put me three out of five stars. It was clearly not worth it.
The next week, I drove from Irun to Bilbao to a man of my age,... [+]
I was once in the burial of a friend's father. Our friend asked us to take a flower from the bouquets, if they wanted to. I can't say no to flowers, let alone roses, especially red flowers. So I took a beautiful red rose.
With the rose in my hand, I greeted the acquaintances of... [+]
Our towns and cities do not take care of us. We lack land, green areas, community spaces. Our people are designed to serve the capital. In the care village, however, life is the center.

In the last year, it has happened to me to see people related to the non-professional realm in digital groups that have used artificial intelligence to give arguments to others. I share it as my own. One's own, but not linked to the sense of property, but processed from one's own... [+]
I started to mentally write my article while I was in the car. I usually have the best ideas in the car while driving alone. I'm going to Bilbao, to the Arriaga theater. The Artedrama company is today staging the Miñan play. It's Friday, October 25.
Approaching the atrium of the... [+]
The society in which we live is absolutely based on subordination. Over the centuries, our lives have been shaped according to it, and little by little the power of decision, freedom and sovereignty have been reduced. Sometimes they've taken us away with force, sometimes we've... [+]
What blew me a lot is the way some doctors talk to the patient. They talk to us about pain as if we were children. As I have had two kidney transplants, I know what I mean: among other things, I have had a tube inside my penis. Because of the anesthesia, I didn't feel how I got... [+]
